President Pratibha Patil had approved his name along with Bollywood actor Rekha and businesswoman Anu Aga in April for the Upper House of the Parliament. However while the others had already been sworn-in, Sachin was unable to do so because of his IPL commitments.

Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni today said that his senior team-mate Sachin Tendulkar will make a contribution as a Rajya Sabha member also. "This (Rajya Sabha) is a new avenue for him and I am sure he will do well and contribute there also," Dhoni had said.
